you and an interview with Alex about you.

12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.039
Yes, I love Alex.

13
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.079
Oh yeah, so do I. I do coverage at festivals

14
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.320
and she's been playing at the festivals, and so now

15
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.920
we kind of hang out, you know there because she's

16
00:00:58.079 --> 00:00:59.960
totally cool people and a great artist.

17
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.119
She stayed at my house when she toured with Living

18
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:04.840
Dead Girl a few months back.

19
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.439
Nice. Yeah, she said, you guys are besties when we

20
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:16.120
were we are so And I gotta tell you once again,

21
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.159
you have a collaboration as just so badass. I can't

22
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.480
believe it. And so yeah, your song Acid Bloom and

23
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:31.120
featuring Stitched Up Heart. That's not only is the video

24
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.159
really cool and the song really cool, but I really

25
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.000
love the T shirts for it too.

26
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.959
Did you get one yet?

27
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.280
Because I I know, and everybody else has to her

28
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.879
and they can't listen to my show. But I'm definitely

29
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.359
gonna get one because it is badass. I love all

30
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.799
the art of music, you know, like music is all

31
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.719
kinds of art, you know, and and I mean I

32
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.120
looked at that T shirt under your Mercht, I was like, Wow,

33
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.000
that's pretty badass. And there aren't many artists that will

34
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.319
make a shirt for a song. You know, they'll make

35
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.199
it for an album, they'll make it for them, but

36
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.840
not many they'll make it for a song. So that's

37
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:13.400
pretty cool.

38
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.240
We tried to a lot of the big bands are

39
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:16.599
doing that.

40
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.840
That's the kind of I kind of look at music

41
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.800
like you want to be big, act big, and you.

42
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.159
Will be no doubt about it. So tell us how

43
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.159
this collaboration came about.

44
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.039
Well, heech as a bloom was not intended for a

45
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:40.199
feature actually, and when we signed with Judge and Jury,

46
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.199
they encourage us to find a couple.

47
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.080
At least for the album, and.

48
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.240
I decided that mix You would be a perfect fit

49
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.759
for it because she's kind of I always tell people

50
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.680
she's got this cute little like almost like alien cyberpunk goths.

51
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.199
Look about her. She's so cute and she's she's is

52
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.400
perfect for the for the imagery that I already had

53
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.479
in my head for Acid Bloom nice.

54
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.080
And I do have to say too, like, there are

55
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.759
so many badass women making music now, especially in the

56
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.960
metal genre, you know, because it just blows my mind.

57
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.960
I'll mess with people, you know, and I'll play something

58
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.439
and then I'll tell him that it was a female

59
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.960
singing and it blows her mind. It doesn't blow my mind, though.

60
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.280
It cracks me up that people still, like to this day,

61
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.479
are just shocked by women knowing how to grow I

62
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.360
don't understand it, Dan, Like, I think we can probably

63
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.000
growl better than men because we have to give birth, right.

64
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.319
I have a thirteen year old son.

65
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.039
So well then you definitely need to growl.

66
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.719
I know he's perfect. He's almost as tall as me,

67
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:58.000
so that's weird.

68
00:03:59.680 --> 00:03:59.840
You know.

69
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.000
What I think it is too, is like I think,

70
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.400
first of all, music is passion and emotion, and women

71
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.680
have way more passion and emotion than most men, so

72
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:10.919
that plays a role.

73
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:16.360
I would but I do have to say, my husband,

74
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.160
if it wasn't for him, this band would not exist. Honestly,

75
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.920
like he nice right, composes, he mixes, masters, produces all

76
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.839
of it, all of it. I write the lyrics and

77
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.759
come up with the melodies, and you'll help me come

78
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.040
up with melodies every once in a while. But you

79
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.040
have to be an emotional person to be able to

80
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.959
do what he does. So there are exceptions, like you

81
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.600
were saying, but uh, yeah, exactly.

82
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.319
Don't have that and my husband does.

83
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.920
Well see there you go, and that makes sense because

84
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.439
it is funny too because men aren't supposed to like

85
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.839
I was. You know, I used to have that in

86
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.279
my marriage where she was like, you're such a girl,

87
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.000
and I'm like that this shit I ever heard them

88
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.199
to say it that way, you know what I mean?

89
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.199
And then like, because I think nowadays too, way more

90
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.199
men are showing their emotions. It was so funny. I

91
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.319
was just doing a festival at Bloodstock in the UK

92
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:23.639
and they had a men's group for exactly that, expressing

93
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.240
themselves and was led by one of the dudes from

94
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:29.879
a hardcore band.

95
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.240
You know that.

96
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.480
You know, sometimes you would think, WHOA that dude wouldn't

97
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.800
be like that, but he was totally like that, and

98
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.759
so that's what's really and it was biohazard. So it's like,

99
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.399
you know, I think that whole thing hopefully is changing

100
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.360
because I think we're just all humans, really we are.

101
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.680
And also sleep Token is kind of they're my favorite

102
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.000
band on the face of the Earth. I don't care

103
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.360
what anybody says, but I feel like Vessel has really

104
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.399
kind of shown that, hey, it's okay to be sensitive guys.

105
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.160
Yeah that's true, that's true, and you know, and then

106
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.360
i'd look at females like you when you're singing, especially

107
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:21.879
the growls, that the technique that you use just blows

108
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.519
my mind. I look at that. I look at the

109
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.439
technique like even like you take Courtney Laplont, you know,

110
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.759
she's watch I watch her mouth on stage and it

111
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.480
like opens up like like a snake would open their mouth,

112
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:42.199
you know, and it's just like unbelievable technique. And as

113
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.959
somebody that when I was a teenager, I would sing

114
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.920
thrash metal, but I didn't know what I was doing

115
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.920
that I blew out, you know, you blow out your voice.

116
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.120
Like I think people don't realize how hard it is

117
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.839
to really do that properly.

118
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.319
It's not easy.

119
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:04.240
It's just it's that's a learned skill exactly. No one's

120
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.560
born knowing how to scream. Actually, it actually takes more

121
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.759
natural talent to sing.

122
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.480
I believe that a million percent, because I know firsthand that, like,

123
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.079
if you do it wrong most people, then they're trying

124
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.480
to do it, they're doing through their throat and the

125
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.560
wrong way, and then it doesn't last long. So I'm

126
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.360
even more impressed when somebody can sing like that and

127
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.079
have the longevity to still sing like that years later.

128
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.879
Yeah, it's it's a challenge because when I first started

129
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.000
doing it again because I took a break from music

130
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.839
for a while, and when I first started doing it again,

131
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.800
I was not doing it correctly and it hurts. So yeah,

132
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.680
I started, like I always try to warm up before

133
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.680
we practice or before I get on the mic. Sometimes

134
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.800
I don't warm up, But warming up and learning how

135
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.920
to do your techniques properly is really what's going to

136
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.360
set you apart from the people that blow their voices

137
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.680
out in five years totally.

138
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.399
I was just seeing like Heidi from The Butcher Babies

139
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.800
on one of her posts and I'm friends with her,

140
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.759
and she was like talking about she's first learning had

141
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.800
tunnel scream now and oh yeah, I didn't even know

142
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.000
that was a technique.

143
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.040
Yeah, I don't do those. I think they sound cool,

144
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.040
I just don't do those.

145
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.639
So what is it that started this whole journey in

146
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:36.279
music for you? Like from day one or just like yeah,

147
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.600
day one, let's go back to day one.

148
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.120
My god, when I was little, I really loved The

149
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.000
Lion King and Pocahontas and I used to sing all

150
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:52.399
the songs from those movies. And I've singing talent shows

151
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:58.960
and my parents like business picnics or whatever, and I

152
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.559
would wear the little poke honess dress and you know,

153
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.639
that's kind of how I discovered that I could sing.

154
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.519
And then it turned into in Sync and Britney Spears,

155
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:14.120
and then I discovered Nirvana, and then the gates started

156
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.039
opening to other genres besides hip hop and pop music

157
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.159
and Disney songs.

158
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.159
But then I discovered Kitty.

159
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.000
That was my first like oh realization, like I want

160
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.240
to be a metal singer and nice.

161
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.159
Yeah. So yeah, they just played recently at that festival.

162
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.840
It's just that too, and they are all no We

163
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.159
went and saw them play.

164
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.320
In twenty twenty four, I think, and I got to

165
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.320
meet all of them except for the singer, so that

166
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:44.879
was cool.

167
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.879
But I I feel like I'll meet her eventually.

168
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.679
I'm sure you will.

169
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.679
I have to tell her, like, dude, you you inspired

170
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:53.879
me because she's she.

171
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.279
If it wasn't for me discovering Kitty, I don't know

172
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.759
if I would be having this conversation with you here today.

173
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.759
Yeah, right, And so what is it that you love

174
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.720
now about singing the way you sing now? And what

175
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.200
do your parents think about your growling?

176
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.840
I don't really have a relationship with my parents, I

177
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.559
know that feeling. Yeah, I don't really I don't know

178
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.879
what they think, but I don't care.

179
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:27.519
Nice like I've improved, I guess, Like I mean, I

180
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.440
didn't think when I was five that I was going

181
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.399
to be doing a metal band.

182
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.360
I just wanted to sing.

183
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.519
But I guess growing up like awkward and the goth

184
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.080
kid and stuff, it just kind of made sense and

185
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.399
it felt right, you know.

186
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.399
I never really felt like I felt I never really

187
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.240
felt like I fit.

188
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.879
In as a kid, you know, And then when I

189
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.440
discovered metal music and rock music, I kind of feel

190
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:51.840
like I found my niche.

191
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.720
And that's where all the outsiders can be insiders, Like,

192
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.440
you know, I think people don't realize that you go to,

193
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.159
like even a metal festival, and there's I always like

194
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.159
to say, there's no assholes at a real metal festival,

195
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.039
and everybody's on the inside and we're one big family.

196
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.000
Everybody's so nice at metal shows.

197
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.879
Oh, I'll tell you a funny story about that. So

198
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.559
one weekend years ago, I had to cover two different

199
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.240
festivals at the same time, and there was no way

200
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.159
I was going to do that. So and this girl

201
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.600
that worked for me at the radio station, and I said, Okay,

202
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.919
you're going to cover this festival for me. And she

203
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.759
had never been to a rock show ever. She was

204
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.240
a country girl, and she was really scared because of

205
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:44.080
the scary metal heads and the scary mash pits. I'm like,

206
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:48.200
let me just tell you something. First of all, we're

207
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.519
one big family. You'll meet the nicest people you ever met.

208
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.960
People fall down in the pit, they get picked up.

209
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.120
Nobody's out there to hurt people. It's not like your

210
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.159
country shows that you're going to where a bunch of

211
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.840
rednecks are getting drunk on jack days and kicking the

212
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.759
crap out of each other.

213
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.399
I'm more scared of exactly.

214
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.159
That's exactly. That's what I was saying. You know, and

215
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.519
I said, you'll probably make some new friends. You might

216
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.679
even you know, meet a new boyfriend or whatever. So

217
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.720
after the end of the weekend she comes back and

218
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.720
she's like, oh my god, you were so right. Everybody

219
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.399
was so nice. I made all these new friends and

220
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.039
I tea bagged this guy and he's now my boyfriend.

221
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:30.879
And I've just yes and I have this new favorite band.

222
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:32.919
They're called Bring Me to Rise, And I don't know

223
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.639
if you know of them. I'm like, yeah, I think

224
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:35.559
I might know who they are.

225
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.519
Maybe they're actually going to be doing a song with

226
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.639
Courtney La Plant. I'm so excited about that.

227
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.480
That is pretty exciting because I they're one of my

228
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.159
favorite bands. And I love her like she Have you

229
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.679
met her? She's one that I haven't met yet, believe

230
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.919
it or not. And I've met almost everybody out there,

231
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.480
but she's one I haven't met yet. I've heard weirdly

232
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:04.960
enough nice. Well she's Canadian, right, so that goes with

233
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.159
the Canadian you know, like Canadians, that's the stereotype that

234
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.279
they're so nice and they're sorry about everything.

235
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.480
Yeah, I mean, I'm friends with Full Metal Jesse and

236
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.399
she's good friends with Courtney and she was just telling

237
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.159
me that she's just a wonderful person.

238
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.039
Well that's so cool.

239
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.919
Well it is cool to hear stuff too, because a

240
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.919
lot of times I think people talk shit about people

241
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.759
in the music industry. Yeah, and they're just because they're

242
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.399
the assholes. Because as press I experienced that and I

243
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.679
don't listen to anybody, but like I'll hear other press

244
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.399
people saying thing and saying shit about people. Perfect example

245
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.080
was like that a bunch of press people would tell me, oh,

246
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:56.960
Amy Lee, she's a bitch, and I didn't listen to him,

247
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.440
and I'm like in love with Amy Lee. I think

248
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.679
she's like amazing, amazing voice and all that, and I

249
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.759
found the exact opposite. I found her to be the coolest,

250
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:13.360
nicest person ever. Like, you know, so I don't listen

251
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:14.720
to people. I don't think.

252
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.840
I feel like nine times out of ten, it's like

253
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.960
how these artists are approached by people too, Because sometimes

254
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.159
I can be bitchy if I'm a pro, if you

255
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.080
come at me sideways, I'm going to come at you

256
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:26.679
head first.

257
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:27.720
So I'm kind of.

258
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.600
A bad day, or whether it's like you're stressed out

259
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.840
before your gig or you're tired after your gig, like

260
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.639
you gotta take certain things in the account. But most

261
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:40.720
of the time, and I'll say it as far as

262
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.679
press people, it's because of the press people, because probably

263
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.399
they do stupid shit sometimes. And then like one of

264
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.759
my friends too is Nita Strauss, and we had a

265
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.840
conversation one time after an interview about and was at

266
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.159
Rock and the Range, like one of the biggest festivals

267
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:04.519
and biggest press area, and we were talking about women

268
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:10.200
in metal and she's like, yeah, there's about seven press

269
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.879
people in here. I'll never do an interview with ever again. Really, yeah,

270
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.200
because you know, some of these assholes, I'll say it

271
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.360
right out, they try to get clicks by shock jocking

272
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.840
the artists, and then when it comes with the women,

273
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.320
they're still doing the gatekeeping, and like, dude, it ain't

274
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.799
the eighties anymore. It's twenty twenty six stuff with the gatekeeping,

275
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.480
that's the way I can do that, you know. And

276
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.000
so yeah, like they were they were making comments to

277
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:44.440
that effect of being a woman, you know, and being

278
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:48.840
a shredder, and it's like it doesn't matter if it's

279
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.720
a male or woman. Like, if you're good at your craft,

280
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:57.759
you're good at your craft exactly, you know, so, and

281
00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.720
that's what I think about you, because you are a

282
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.279
batter and in all these songs that you are with

283
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.879
other bands, you're a badass. Like so, you know, you're

284
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.080
like you're like the talk of the town in collaborations.

285
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.080
I kind of feel like.

286
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.600
Ah, that's awesome.

287
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:19.159
I love that right right and here no different. Like

288
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.679
I was watching the video for Acid Bloom and man,

289
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.360
that was such a killer video. It's a killers long

290
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:29.320
and the video super killer too.

291
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.840
I know my husband's best friend. He came up with

292
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.080
the concept for the video.

293
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:35.399
Nice.

294
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.799
He's also kind of our like operations manager.

295
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:43.039
Our our band manager is Chris Byankei with CB Entertainment,

296
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.559
And yes, I know him well, I know he told

297
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.919
me a lot of good things about you.

298
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.360
Well that's good. They're all lives, but that's good.

299
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.960
He had nothing but good things to say. Well, I

300
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:58.440
forgot what I was saying. It was before that.

301
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.440
It was about the Acid Blue them and everybody that's

302
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:02.399
working on the video.

303
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.960
Oh, the guy who the guy who helped come up

304
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.359
with the concept for Acid Bloom also came up with

305
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.039
the concept for our biggest best performing music video on.

306
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.079
YouTube, which is a cry Little Sister.

307
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:16.359
Nice.

308
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.799
Yeah, we did a cover of it that went megaviral

309
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.640
on its own, Like, I didn't run any ads or

310
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.400
anything like that. Right now, it's sitting at I believe

311
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.799
four point four million on YouTube. Wow.

312
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.200
Yeahow. I think sometimes that's how it happens, like and

313
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:36.240
sometimes it's better off not doing anything and something like

314
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:37.599
it just takes off like that.

315
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:38.640
Yeah.

316
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:39.640
Yeah, I know.

317
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.079
Covers kind of already have their own built in marketing,

318
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:47.279
which is exactly originals are different. Uh, they are a

319
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.039
little bit harder to get to reach people, but you

320
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.319
just got to keep going until something sticks.

321
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.599
Well, because the algorithm will pick up the cover almost

322
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.799
as if it is the original if it's a popular one.

323
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:00.400
You know.

324
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.079
So that makes sense. So what else do you want

325
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.920
to let the listeners know about that you got upcoming?

326
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.519
Well, I have another song coming in the fall.

327
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.839
I can't give too many details yet because nothing is

328
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.759
quite set in stone, but we do guaranteed have another

329
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.559
song coming out in the fall with another feature.

330
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:26.160
Nice. Yeah, So tell me all these features and collapse

331
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.400
that you do. How did they come about?

332
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.119
The twelve stones feature? The label approached me about that

333
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.799
and it was kind of out of my element right.

334
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.680
It was a little bit different from what I normally do,

335
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.240
but I figured I accept that just to kind of

336
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:44.200
show people my versatility as an artist.

337
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:45.960
So that was a fun one.

338
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.960
And then I chose I handpicked Mixy for Acid Bloom,

339
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.559
and then this next feature, I also hand chose.

340
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.559
Nice And I think that's another thing I have found

341
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:06.880
is that the women in metal love doing these features

342
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.480
and collabs, and I think that is what's badass about

343
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:16.119
it too. It's like there's no real competitive thing going on.

344
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.759
Let's just make music together because we have.

345
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.640
To support each other.

346
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.160
I feel like what women are kind of under attack

347
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.160
in general in a lot of spaces, but especially the

348
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:33.200
metal space for sure. Yeah, you know, and bands like

349
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.359
spirit Box are really kind of rewriting the rules and.

350
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.400
I love it, which I'm very happy about. Or you

351
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:45.160
take like Ginger too, Tatia badass. Yep, they're all bad asses,

352
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:50.519
you know. And again I attribute it to a the

353
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.279
passion and the emotion, but also the fact that you

354
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.319
know you do need to stand out and you do

355
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.000
make a stand and that you work together. And I

356
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.799
think that helps when you're supportive of each other, because

357
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:10.480
it's not true in every industry unfortunately. And I think

358
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:16.240
if women did set aside certain things and work together

359
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:20.480
in every industry, that every industry would be dominated by females.

360
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.720
Yeah, because the world wouldn't go around without us.

361
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:29.119
There you go, So tell everybody how they can reach

362
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:33.119
out to you, connect with you, not only on socials,

363
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.599
but also buy your merch because I can't listen to

364
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:37.559
my show, like I said, unless say, buy your merch

365
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:39.960
and anything else you want to let them know.

366
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:43.920
If you're not already following us, you can find me

367
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:45.640
and my band under.

368
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:50.759
Lyric Noel Official on TikTok and Instagram, Lyric Noel Music

369
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:54.960
on Facebook, Lyric Noel Official on YouTube, and I think

370
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.680
I covered all the basis on that one, and our

371
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:01.079
merch can be found at ww dot, Lyric Noel dot com.

372
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.839
Nice. Do you have any final words you want to

373
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:11.720
leave our listeners with? Thanks for having me, thanks for

374
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.200
being being here. Like I did say to Chris, I'm like,

375
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:17.839
you know, it's kind of ridiculous that I keep doing

376
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.920
all these interviews and they are about Lyric Noel. I

377
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.160
think I could. Actually I did a.

378
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.160
Collab with Alex too, like completely just slid my mind.

379
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.240
It was a couple of years ago, though. Yeah, I

380
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.519
saw her on TikTok. I had been seeing her and

381
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.640
I thought she was just the cutest person ever. So

382
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.599
I sent her a message and she was just as

383
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.720
nice as she looked.

384
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:46.200
Oh she's totally asurbing, I know. And I love her hair.

385
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:51.079
My hair used to be blue and her hair, Oh

386
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.720
my god. All I think about, because I used to

387
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:55.759
do my hair, is like, how much work she must

388
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.079
do to have that so perfect the way it is

389
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.519
she does lived here.

390
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:01.920
I'm actually a hairdresser.

391
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.200
I own a salon. Oh nice, And I told her,

392
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:07.759
if you moved to Texas, you're not going anywhere else.

393
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.920
So the type of stuff that Alex does to her

394
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.559
hair is the stuff that I specialize in.

395
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:17.839
Very cool. You know, it's funny too, Like at Bloodsuckers

396
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.279
just said they had too there. Apparently it's pretty famous

397
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:24.440
over there, called the heavy metal Hairdresser.

398
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:26.039
I know him. He follows us.

399
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:31.400
See that's pretty cool. Well, you're cool. Your music's badass.

400
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.640
And thanks for being on the Adventures of Pipeline. Oh no,
